Event Details

This all community 9.11k run and 5k walk/run has been established to commemorate September 11, 2001. It is a run to remember or walk to honor those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks that fateful day and to those who have given their lives since the Global War on Terrorism began.

Adonai Community Support Services is a nonprofit Veteran organization which was founded on September 11, 2012. Adonai provides resources to All Veterans of All Eras. Resources include transition assistance, family support, benefits information, employment assistance, and a broad range of advocacy. Each generation has since walked through these doors. It is an honor each and everyday to serve those who have served our great Nation.

This organizaiton exists on the generosity of the surrounding communities. All services are free to Veterans. Their dues have already been paid.

The course is set to start and finish at the Aledo VFW Post 1571. A picnic will immediately follow the race.

T-shirts to all participants.

A volunteer will carry the US Flag throughout the 9.11k run, the 5k walk, and the 5k run. Would you like to volunteer?

Organizer

Amy Hess

I served in the United States Armed Forces for a total of 22 ½ years. As a Soldier, I understand the unique needs, concerns, and issues of service. As the spouse of a Soldier and as a proud parent of children who grew up in a dual military family, I truly understand the unique needs, concerns, and issues of service. It is a lifelong commitment and impact on the family when one chooses to serve in our Armed Forces. Whether to make a career in the military or serve initial contract obligations, each and every person who volunteered to serve this great nation has made a difference through their own selfless sacrifices. Through these experiences, I am committed to assist other Veterans and families in maximizing to the fullest potential their benefits of military service. Regardless of their current status (retired or active), each Veteran who requests support will receive a variety of services unique to their needs. As the founder and director, I am a volunteer. I proudly served my country and now I proudly serve all Veterans.
